What you don't seem to understand is that the World is full of odd people, who are often abusive with it. When this kind of thing happens to me I find great consolation in the thought that, in comparison to such people, I am relatively normal and decent. Without all the weirdos I would probably have a lower opinion of myself, so, in a way, I'm grateful for them.
I appreciate your concern, wen, but I'm not going through a crisis or anything like that. I suppose what I'm saying is, even when life changes it still feels pretty much the same. It's okay, though, I can live with it.
Annleerose, what you say about your mother is kind of what I'm talking about. When you've known something or someone for most of your life and then it is suddenly gone, you would expect it to be hard to get used to and adjust to. That doesn't usually seem to be the case with me.
I think you might have hit the nail on the head, itchy. Maybe I'm more open to change because I seem to be in a constant state of wanting it (change, that is). Being content with the way things are is something I've never experienced.
Biff, from what I've gleaned and pieced together from your posts, your change of lifestyle is considerably more radical and adventurous than mine so perhaps we can't make a fair comparison. I envy you and wish I was brave enough to do something like it.
There doesn't seem any point in not telling it like it is. It wouldn't change anything for me and I don't see what's to be gained by giving a false impression to anyone else. I'm glad you think I belong here.
Jazz, I've had a rethink. Forget about you frail old 91 year old mother and take me with you. I'll let you do my shopping for me if it helps your conscience.
Jazz, you can't possibly leave your 91 year old mother to the mercy of your children. You must suspend your plans immediately and do your duty. I hope this answers your question and I'm glad to have been given the opportunity to show you where your priorities belong.
Hiking boots and red socks, molly. Serious walkers must wear red socks, if nothing else. I can feel a thread coming on, molly, will you meet me in the forum in ten minutes?

RE: Did the Pope commit Rank Heresy ?
I don't really get how anyone could be disappointed at the thought of there being no such place as Hell.
